The prettiest Aprilia production motorcycle ever, in my opinion (and they have done a LOT of amazing looking motorcycles though the years). When announced in summer 1994, people initially underrated it, saying "it's just a Suzuki RVG VJ22 in an italian suite", not understanding how much was involved - it ended up becoming one of the biking icons of the 2nd half of the 1990s. There are so many details on the RS250 (all of it), it's just... 😘*muaaa* chef's kiss!
I have a MK1 'Biaggi' and a MK2 Cup bike that I'm rebuilding. Not sure how much Jimmy weighs but at 170lbs American (77 kg), I was very happy with the spring that Sean @ TTW sells plus a little heavier on the fork oil. Also a Penske double-adjustable. The MK2 seat fits the MK1 and adds some legroom. A Zeeltronic with a quick shifter installed makes for extra fun too. My MK1 has Wiesco pistons, Tyga left-right pipes, VHM heads with 11.8cc chambers, 0;9mm squish, and a hacked up airbox. 67 at the wheel on a Dynojet 200i (I think) on pump gas. Quite a blast. EDIT: It occured to me that I haven't said anything at AP doesn't know already. :)
Same, the R6 hadn't long come out and I so wanted one in blue, so sold the RS to fund the R6. I actually wanted an R1 but bike cost and insurance were too high for me.
I‘d say one of the most beautiful paintjobs aprilia did on the RS models!
Very interesting Project ! ! ! To be continued !!!!
Ooooo!!! I had this bike at the time, loved it. Just sold my RSV-R last week; sad times.I watch with interst.
